In a recent interview, French-Moroccan comedian Gad Elmaleh opened up about his past relationship with Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco. Speaking to the French magazine Paris Match, Elmaleh reflected on their time together in the early 2000s, describing himself with self-deprecating humor.
Elmaleh used the colloquial term "blédard"—a slang term often referring to someone from a rural or less cosmopolitan background in North Africa—to contrast himself with Casiraghi's royal lineage. He stated he felt like an ordinary person next to her, highlighting the perceived social gap between them at the time.
The couple's relationship, which began around 2001, was highly publicized. They have a son together, Raphaël, born in 2013, though they had separated years prior. Elmaleh's comments were part of a broader interview about his life and career, not focused solely on this past romance.
Both Elmaleh and Casiraghi have since moved on to other relationships. The interview provides a rare, retrospective glimpse into a chapter of their lives that captivated European media over two decades ago.
